CVE-2026-73749
CRITICALAn unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on HPE AOS-CX daemons via malformed input.
HPE AOS-CX daemons improperly process malformed input, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve remote code execution with elevated privileges. DIB organizations must patch this critical vulnerability immediately to prevent supply-chain compromise and unauthorized network access. The failure is avoidable through rigorous input validation and timely patching.
Shame score — A critical RCE vulnerability in a network infrastructure daemon allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges, representing a severe avoidable failure in input validation and patch management.
▸ RECOMMENDED ACTION Remote code execution — patch the affected products on priority.
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in a daemon of AOS-CX that may allow for improper processing of malformed input. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted packets to the affected service. Successful exploitation could result in remote code execution with elevated privileges.
